# srftopam(1)

convert a SRF image file to Netpbm images

## NAME

srftopam - convert a SRF image file to Netpbm images

## SYNOPSIS

**srftopam** \[**-verbose**\] \[*netpbmfile*\]

## DESCRIPTION

This program is part of **Netpbm**(1) .

**srftopam** reads a SRF image file as input and produces a multi-image stream of PAM images as output.

This program performs the inverse of the conversion that **pamtosrf** does.  See that program's manual for more information about SRF and the relationship between the SRF and Netpbm representation of the images.

*netpbmfile* is the input stream, which defaults to Standard Input. Output is always on Standard Output.

## OPTIONS

In addition to the options common to all programs based on libnetpbm (most notably **-quiet**, see \
  Common Options ⟨index.html#commonoptions⟩ ), **srftopam** recognizes the following command line option:

- **-verbose**

  Issue informational messages about the input and the conversion process.
